The voice of the Pope and the Church in dialogue with the World

homily

"Jesus calls us to change our lives, to change paths, calls us to conversion.” And this means fighting against evil, even in our own hearts. That was the message of Pope Francis in his reflection during the morning Mass at the Casa Santa Marta.

Inviting all faithful to practice Christian love every day, Pope Francis on Sunday canonized 35 new saints, nearly all of them martyrs, holding them up as models who “point the way”. His words came during the homily of the Canonization Mass in St. Peter's Square.

Pope Francis on Tuesday reminded the faithful that God’s infinite mercy prevails over all, but he warned against rigidity and invited Christians to always open their hearts. He was speaking during morning Mass at the Casa Santa Marta.
